My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 249

Harold looked out, and his face instantly turned pale from shock.

He immediately rushed into Adina’s arms and nervously said, “Aunt Adina, Dad’s here! He’s here to catch me!”

Adina raised her wrist and looked at the time. There were ten more minutes before 8.30 pm. Why was this man here so soon to take Harold?

While she thought about it, the villa’s doorbell rang.

Adina got up and went to open the door.

The temperature at night in late autumn was very cold, and Duke emanated the aura of such a cold night.

He walked in only after he stood at the entrance hall for a while.

Harold was nervous, but he pretended to look calm as he said, “Dad, I was about to go home, but you came.”

“If I didn’t come over, you would have stayed here for another two hours,” Duke said indifferently.

Harold flicked his tongue.

His dad understood him well. He actually wanted to stay at Aunt Adina’s house for the night.

“Mr. Winters, I’m the one who convinced Harold to stay and play a little longer,” Adina spoke to smooth things over. “It’s getting late, so you can take him home.”

Duke nodded.

He glanced around before he saw the little girl who was sitting on the climbing mat.

The little girl opened her eyes wide and stared at him. When she noticed that he was looking at her, her dark eyes instantly lit up.

She picked up a toy bunny from the side before she ran over and stuffed the bunny into Duke’s hand.

The bunny was extremely soft, and it melted Duke’s heart.

He squatted down, and his cold, profound face appeared a little gentler. “Mel, you haven’t greeted me today.”

He knew that Melody had not spoken again after the other day.

Thinking back to the time she had called him “Daddy,” it seemed so distant as if it was just a dream.

“Come on, call me ‘Uncle Duke.’”
